Cool shrimp.

You'll need to do a bit on them for the main site

 

[reg2k2]

Cool.

This is the German site I was talking about.  All I can make out is a couple o' sentences.  They lead a hidden life, and clearly get bigger (which you already know).  And that one of his shrimp turned white after molting(?) (see pic's), but then turned light blue after a few weeks.

hi ,
could do with a german translater  :laugh:
my shrimp turned very pale after he'd shed his skin.
he did go blue again few days after, he's a good
4 inches now, love wathing him feed all his little filters
waver about.

thanks  slt.

It's Atya Gabonensis - the Giant African Fan Shrimp. I got one recently too - very shy for something that looks so 'ard!

Do you really need to run around reviving threads from half a decade ago?

This is the oldest one yet!

I'm TERRIBLY sorry to have inconvenienced you all. I was posting on another thread about a similar subject and saw below the links to similar threads, so clicked, replied, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE DATE ON IT! Again, my humblest apologies.

Is that it? I can understand then, those "Similar threads" can go wayyy back.
